Columbus Crew to Win
Wilfried Nancy’s 0-0-1 record against Real Salt Lake City doesn’t give us much hope but what does work in favor of our essential Columbus Crew vs Real Salt Lake City prediction is the fact that the home team is in tremendous form.
The 6-1 victory over Atlanta United was just the cherry on top. Columbus Crew aren’t performing well away from home but when it comes to games at Lower.com Field, Wilfried Nancy’s boys are second to none.
Over 1.5 Columbus Crew Goals
When you know Columbus Crew’s last MLS showdown was the brutal 6-1 victory over in-form Atlanta United, how can you possibly not make this Columbus Crew vs Real Salt Lake City prediction?
The Crew’s attacking form is outstanding this season. They’ve scored 11 goals since MLS’ kick-off in February. The only side to outscore coach Wilfried Nancy’s boys is Atlanta United themselves as they scored 12 so far.
With that being said, we have to tell you that Real Salt Lake City’s defensive line has more holes than Swiss cheese. With nine goals conceded, coach Pablo Mastroeni will surely opt to make some changes before the kick-off.

Columbus Crew odds: -111 – 51.0%
Draw odds: +265 – 26.0%
Real Salt Lake City odds: +305 – 23.0%
After the brutal 6-1 victory against Atlanta United last week, it’s only logical that Columbus Crew are the favorites to win versus Real Salt Lake City at -111 (51.0%). The visitors have a 23.0% likelihood of winning and we’re convinced that they’ll fail to get the three points on the 1st of April as Columbus Crew’s winning march goes on.
Columbus Crew vs Real Salt Lake City Lineups & Team News
Columbus Crew
The 6-1 victory against Atlanta United could’ve easily been more impressive if only Wilfried Nancy’s boys were a tad more composed when taking the goalkeeper one-on-one. No one predicted the Crew to do so well against an in-form Atlanta United yet, here we are. And now, Columbus Crew will have a far easier task of getting the three points against a lackluster Real Salt Lake City at Lower.com Field.
Predicted lineup – Room (GK), Degenek, Moreira, Quinton, Sands, Morris, Nagbe, Farsi, Zelarayan, Ramirez & Matan
Real Salt Lake City
With one victory and three losses in four MLS games, Real Salt Lake City are currently in 10th place in the Western Conference. They are trailing by one point for 10th place and seeing as it gives you the right to partake in the final series playoffs, we’re sure that Pablo Mastroeni’s boys will have all the pressure in the World to succeed against the Crew. And that’ll certainly work in favor of our Columbus Crew vs Real Salt Lake City prediction this week in MLS.
Predicted lineup – MacMath (GK), Oviedo, Glad, Vera, Brody, Ojeda, Ruiz, Savarino, Kreilach, Gomez & Rubin

Player to Watch: Alexandru Matan
Sure, one goal and one assist since the start of the season isn’t the mark of a world-class player but what it does show is commitment. Alexandru Matan’s lung-bursting runs down the left have been causing mayhem in the opposition’s penalty box and we’re sure he’ll be at his lethal best on Sunday as well.
